A. Lange & Söhne was founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Germany, and quickly became a symbol of precision and innovation in German watchmaking. The brand flourished until World War II, when its facilities were destroyed and the company was nationalized under East German rule. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Ferdinand’s great-grandson Walter Lange revived the brand in 1990, re-establishing it as a pinnacle of haute horlogerie. Known for exceptional craftsmanship, in-house movements, and iconic designs like the Lange 1 and Datograph, A. Lange & Söhne is now one of the most respected names in fine watchmaking worldwide.
